Ao Bai escaped the encirclement and pursuit of the First Cavalry Division, but more than seventy percent of the 5,000 soldiers under his command did not escape.

Especially the three thousand Tartars who lost their horses, even if they scattered to break through, their two legs were not as fast as those with four legs.

Following Ao Bai, he finally broke through the more than 1,000 Tartars intercepted by the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army, and finally in the scattered breakthrough, there were less than 100 people who successfully escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army.

After no cavalry returned for a day in the Tartar camp, Ao Bai finally admitted a fact. The 5,000 elites with yellow flags who they brought out of the mountains had already lost only 1,200 people when they had barely achieved results.

The 1,200 demoralized remnants of the army, not to mention attacking the 30,000-strong Haw Par Army, may not even have the ability to protect themselves.

At this moment, as a general, no matter how capable he is, it is impossible for him to rely on his own strength, with more than 1,000 remnants in the secret camp, to move the tiger and leopard army again.

At this time, all Ao Bai could do was to bring back more than a thousand remnants of the soldiers in the secret camp and leave a little seed for the yellow flag.

So, Ao Bai, who had an unprecedented frustrated expression on his face, gave the order to withdraw his troops back to the mountain without thinking about it.

When Wang Feng took the 30,000 elites of the First Army of the Tiger and Leopard Army, after a long journey of more than ten days, he finally arrived outside the mountains where the Tartars were hiding. The more than 1,000 remnants led by Ao Bai also successfully returned to Huang Taiji's secret camp in the mountains.

At this moment, Ao Bai was kneeling in the military tent where Huang Taiji was, pleading guilty to Huang Taiji with a regretful face, and telling the entire defeat process.

Huang Taiji sitting directly above the big tent. I have a gloomy face. Listening to Ao Bai without saying a word.

Huang Taiji didn't speak. But in his heart, he wanted to cut off Ao Bai's head more than once.

More than 3,000 elites with yellow flags, and the last root of the yellow flags were lost on the battlefield in vain. For Huang Taiji, who is overstretched and is at a critical juncture of life and death, it will not only deal a huge blow to the morale of the officers and men of the entire army of Houjin, but also make his already insufficient troops even more insufficient.

However, no matter how angry you are in your heart. Dissatisfaction with how Ao Bai is in front of him. Huang Taiji held back.

At such a critical juncture, even if he wants to use the head of Ao Bai to vent his dissatisfaction and anger. Houjin's increasingly bad situation also forced him not to kill Ao Bai.

Because, Ao Bai in front of him is already the only few remaining generals in Houjin Shuoguo.

Killing him now means that Houjin really has no hope......

After listening to Ao Bai without the slightest mood, although Huang Taiji wanted to kill him. However, under the persecution of the increasingly bad situation, Huang Taiji had to suppress the anger in his heart and said in his calmest tone as much as possible......

"Aobai, as you say. You can't shirk the responsibility for this defeat. But. Ben Khan thought that it was time to employ people in the Houjin Kingdom, so he temporarily wrote down your sins and allowed you to wear them for meritorious service...... However, if you disappoint Ben Khan again, then don't blame Ben Khan for his crimes and punish him......"

Huang Taiji's words were like a ray of light in despair for Ao Bai, allowing Ao Bai, who had already decided that he could not escape death, to see hope directly.

Therefore, as soon as Huang Taiji's decision was spoken, Ao Bai said with emotion: "Slave Xie Da Khan...... The life of the slave is the Great Khan, as long as the Great Khan orders, the slave will not give up even if he is full of liver and brains......"

Huang Taiji waved his hand and replied: "What Ben Khan wants is not your liver and brain, but what Ben Khan wants is your outstanding performance on the battlefield...... Now, the 30,000 elite of the Tiger and Leopard Army have arrived outside the mountains, and our Houjin has also reached a critical juncture of life and death. If you can't show yourself on the battlefield in Ao Bai, don't repel a possible attack by the Haw Par Army. When the time comes, without Ben Khan's action, the Haw Par Army will also cut off your head......"

Hearing this, Ao Bai hurriedly replied: "Please rest assured that the minions will live up to the expectations of the Great Khan and defeat the ...... of the Tiger and Par Army."

At this time, the angry expression on Huang Taiji's face finally eased. After waving his hand to Ao Bai again, he said, "Okay, let's not talk nonsense...... Ao Bai, you are the number one general in my Houjin, and you have fought with the Haw Par Army many times...... Now, the Haw Par Army has arrived outside the mountains...... You say, what are we going to do......"

"Great Khan, the idea of the minions is to use the mountains under their feet as a battlefield and deal with the tiger and leopard army outside the mountains......"

"Before this expedition, the slave said that in the mountains, my Houjin warrior can definitely be called the king of the mountains and forests...... As long as the Haw Par Army dares to enter the mountain, the minions guarantee that as many people as the Haw Par Army enters, the minions will kill as many people as they come......"

When Ao Bai said this sentence before he set out for the expedition, Huang Taiji could still believe it.

And now, after listening to Ao Bai's words, Huang Taiji is full of doubts.

Because, before Ao Bai set out on the expedition, as now, he promised unashamedly in front of himself that he would be able to bring maximum damage to the Haw Par Army with the minimum casualties.

And as a result, the troops brought out suffered heavy losses. However, it did not bring any major damage to the Haw Par Army.

After seeing the suspicion on Huang Taiji's face, the dissatisfaction and grievances in Ao Bai's heart were not much to say, after all, he had just lost a battle.

Of course, in front of Huang Taiji, no matter how aggrieved he was in his heart, he didn't dare to show it in the slightest.

Facing Huang Taiji's suspicious gaze, he hurriedly explained: "Great Khan, the reason why the Tiger and Par Army's combat effectiveness is strong is nothing more than advanced firearms and equipment. However, as long as they enter the mountains, there is no way for them to bring out their firearms superiority......"

"At that time, it will not be firearms used for long-range firepower strikes that will really dominate the battlefield, but cold weapons that are good at close-range combat."

"And many of our warriors grew up in the mountains. It can be said that he is very familiar with the close-range combat with cold weapons in the mountains and forests...... ""Because of this, the minions will have such self-confidence, in the mountains and forests, use the close-range combat and cold weapons that the warriors are good at, defeat the Haw Par Army equipped with advanced firearms......"

After a short silence, Huang Taiji, whose face was solemn, finally spoke: "You have a point...... Aobai, this time, Ben Khan will believe you again...... From now on, except for the more than 10,000 elites of the Zhenghuang Banner, all the cavalry of the remaining Seven Great Banners of Houjin and the tens of thousands of firearms troops of the Eight Banners of Khan are all under your command...... I hope you will live up to Ben Khan's trust and expectations of you......" (To be continued......
